## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the exhaust pipe may be in contact or close proximity to the outer dash panel silencer pad. It is possible that the pipe can generate sufficient heat to cause the pad material to smolder and may ignite adjacent materials resulting in a vehicle fire.  Correction: The outer dash silencer pad adjacent to the exhaust pipe will be removed and replaced by a thermal heat shield on the exhaust pipe.
